Here’s another new painting for the Gallery B show. Also inspired by the C & O Canal — late afternoon with the sun raking low across the tree tops.

C & O Face-off. Oil on Linen. 8 x 10.
I did a similar scene in gouache a few years ago, when I was first dabbling in that medium. I love the contrast between the trees in light and shadow and their reflections in the calm canal water.
